Abstract:
A gamma-ray beam produced by Compton scattering of a laser beam and a relativistic electron beam has been used to determine electron beam parameters. In order to accurately measure the electron beam energy, a fitting model based upon Compton scattering cross section is introduced in this paper. With this model, we have successfully determined the energy of the electron beam in Duke storage ring with a relative uncertainty of 3× 10-5 using a Compton gamma beam from the High Intensity γ-ray Source (HIγS) facility at Duke University.
